UT athletes demand racial reforms on campus, UPDATE: Univ Prez announces reforms

[dtownreppin214]

Respectable by those young men.
I fukks with em
@dtownreppin214 whats the inside scoop in this

My younger brother is involved with student leadership on campus. He's been having meetings all week with deans/admins about getting some of these demands addressed. He told me that a few football players (Tope Imade specifically) approached them to piggyback on what they had going on. If you've been following everything, UT has been out in front regarding the response to Mr. Floyd's death and has really empowered the players. I gotta give Herman props for that. The main person pushing all of this is actually an Asian dude, but overall UT has a very "woke" black student body. We might not have the numbers but they are very socially conscious.

The letter in the OP is a bit watered down from the original petition my brother and others helped craft. You can see that one here...it goes a little further addressing UTPD/APD police reform.

Student Community Statement (Google Docs link)

Petition nearing 15k signatures.

I think they will fold Austin loves being this fake ass progressive city so you can’t have UT kill their persona, and Texas Football is trash most Black Texas HS Football stars go to Baylor or out of state, so they can’t afford to lose any talent.

Most Black Texas HS football stars go to Baylor? Bullfukkin shyt. Texas still by far have more cache than any Texas school in the state and most 4 and 5 stars go to Texas.

college is the time to start standing up for beliefs
I don’t think any university, be it a white one or black one, will just start donating their money directly to other nonprofits like that though. They should pay their players and make more scholarships for black students across all of their colleges including graduate schools

 

[Spade]

Most of the rival schools are using this against Texas nor realizing that they themselves are thinking the same shyt the Texas players are doing . Especially A&M. You don’t think they watching this? Or the ou players from Texas?

 

[dtownreppin214]

You won't have to do this at Texas Southern but I am glad to see they are using their power.

You can't go into somebody house and start moving furniture.

Take yout talents to an HBCU

they arent though and @tru_m.a.c pointed that out. if they wanted to guarantee they get everything they demanding, they would refuse to play.

but your last point is appreciated. lets just not act like they playing their most powerful move

See the tweet below from ex-Longhorn Tim Crowder from the 05 championship team. He's a trainer in Texas now and knows the players. Just observing some of the UT players comments the last few weeks, I think some of them are prepared to walk if they don't address these issues. Keep an eye out on Brennan Eagles @lightskin jermaine @Numpsay @Houston911 @jay211
